I've a problem that apparently has occurred to other users (from an internet 
search); however, I can't figure out how to do this in my application 
(brain-dead?).  Here's the background:

I'm using an HTML-based API call to do a function in our product; this call 
returns a large string that includes numeric IDs of entities.  I want to 
extract these IDs, build a string containing them, and use this string in an 
API call.  For example:


1.       API_1 call - returns "text, ID1, more text, ID2,...etc." consisting of 
n IDs.

2.       Regular Expression Extractor call - return variable is called 
"ELEMENTS"

3.       Build string that looks like "ID1,ID2,...IDn"

4.       API_2 call with body having string defined in step 3.

I have no problem in step 2 picking off any one element, putting it in ELEMENTS 
 and using it in step 4.  I don't know how to do step 3 if Match Number is set 
to -1 in step 2.  This doesn't look like rocket science, but I can't figure it 
out.  Would someone be so kind as to either show me how to do this or refer me 
to a script that does this?

Best regards,

Bohdan
